Let me go a level deeper:
Detachment is often approached as an exercise in not letting external outcomes affect you. But the deeper path is to loosen the sense of ego; the separate "self" that clings to outcomes in the first place and allow yourself to rest in what truly is.
As that attachment to the self dissolves, detachment from external outcomes follows naturally.
Ps The Gita isn't merely teaching you to become emotionally unaffected by outcomes. It is teaching you to transform the very identification with the "I" that claims ownership of action and attachment to its results.
This is the Christian route to dissolution: Buddhism begins with suffering, Hinduism with ignorance; Christianity begins with sin/guilt and moves through forgiveness toward love.
The ability to truly forgive.
Not as a moral duty, but as a way of dissolving the ego that keeps score-who wronged me, who owes me, who deserves what.
Follow Jesus far enough and you may discover that when there’s no one left keeping score, love is all that remains.
Christians, give me ONE benefit of following Jesus.
Just one.
Not "Jesus loves me."
Not "I have peace."
Not "I feel blessed."
What does following Jesus actually give you that makes Christianity worth choosing?
The ability to truly forgive.

@human47133@himaniguptaa Pata nahi bhai kya chal raha hai, say what Sanatan truly means and point out bigotry in a comedic way and people wanting to be protectors of our religion get offended.
@human47133@himaniguptaa Yeah bro so I was also only kidding while reminding everyone not to forget the real meaning of Sanatan. Isme offend hone wali toh baat hi nahi hai.
@human47133@himaniguptaa About what? the point I was making 12k rs cannot be the reason to love the religion that teaches non attachment. I was speaking for hinduism in its true sense.
@himaniguptaa Hinduism: money, power, fame...all is meaningless, only thing that matters is your dissolution to facilitate union/emergence of God.
You: Lalalala barah hazaar!! Hinduism ftw.
@Crustology_ Vedika ji i agree a marriage is built on mutual respect and trust. But would you say the same for woman who insult their husbands at family gatherings?
